Are you a woman in midlife overwhelmed by change
and longing for greater witness, guidance, and care?

What if you had a trustworthy guide
to help you connect creatively and responsively to all aspects of yourself, discover your ecosystems of support, and learn to view transition as transformation?

Hi! I’m Kristinha.

I help women in the chrysalis of midlife find
resilience, curiosity, and care,
empowering them to live from their truest desires and embrace transitions as profound opportunities for metamorphosis.

You are not a problem to be fixed, but
a beautiful mystery
 to be encountered.

Women in midlife navigate a sea of shifting roles and expectations.

But there is a general lack of support and initiatory understanding in our contemporary culture regarding how to help them face and honor these significant life transitions in a way that encourages connection to their inner guidance and natural rhythms. As a result, it is all too common for women encountering this threshold to feel stuck, confused, or lost and have little help and holding through a potentially transformative experience.

As you move through this liminal time, do you feel …

  • Do you feel internal or external pressure to hide or deny the changes happening to your relationships, your body, and your life trajectory?

    Are your thoughts and feelings tangled and contradictory?

    Do you suddenly question your identity or fear that your value in the world is changing?

  • Do perimenopausal fluctuations have you up and down in energy, desire, and focus?

    Do you feel disconnected from—or maybe even betrayed by—your body, frustrated that it is not performing optimally or living up to your expectations and the demands of your life?

  • Do you feel trapped in a constant state of reactivity to what gets thrown at you as you struggle to find your ground amid change?

    Or do you feel paralyzed or frozen, while everything else rushes on around you?

  • Do you sense your primary relationships are shifting, such as those with your partner, your children, or your aging parents?

    Do you feel guilty because you cannot show up to relationships as people expect you to?

    Do you support others but wonder who is supporting you?

  • Are you tired of wasting money on offerings that, at best, lend only an ephemeral sense of comfort and, at worst, keep you reliant on an “expert” for results?

    Are you sick of falling prey to an endless stream of targeted ads that capitalize on your insecurities?

    Are you frustrated that nothing you buy truly honors the sanctity of your personal passage?

Within a supportive coaching container, I invite you to …

  • Invite creativity, fluidity, and responsiveness into your experience as you grow curious about all aspects of your life change—especially the hard parts!

    Gain clarity about your inner dynamics, as well as your personal call to action as you learn to approach transition as transformation.

    Expand your capacity to be present and resilient amid change as you align with your true desires and the greater archetypal and ecological movements of life.

  • Gain greater awareness about the intersection of your emotional and physical well-being so you can listen to the voice of your body and make conscious choices that support your foundational health.

    Learn to trust your body as a reliable source of information and guidance as you face new situations, life stages, and choices.

  • Develop a conscious relationship to time and learn to set humane goals and boundaries.

    Choose what you will take on from a place of grounding, not guilt.

    Join the stream of life, respecting your capacity in this moment.

  • Learn to navigate shifting relationships, projections, and expectations from a place of calm, authenticity, and compassion.

    Let go of guilt and lead with your needs in order to deepen relationships with others.

    Diversify and expand your network of care, finding guidance in friends, ancestors, spiritual support, and the natural world. Feel yourself held by a true web of life.

  • Adopt simple, pragmatic practices that will help you feel confident, resourced, and supported at the deepest level of your being as you navigate change.

    Inoculate yourself against the predatory attention economy by discerning and centering your values, not your fears.  

    Work within a coaching container curated to accommodate your unique concerns and the deep, soulful nature of your journey.

More about me, my process and packages.

  • "Working with Kristinha was nothing short of transformative. I felt deeply guided by her unwavering intuition, loving presence, and grounded wisdom. Each session felt like a sacred space where I could explore the depths with trust and safety. Kristinha is a true embodiment of the work—gentle yet powerful, intuitive yet deeply rooted. I’m so grateful for the journey we shared."

    H.R., Leucadia, CA

  • “I worked with Kristinha over five sessions around the topic of a possible move. She helped me understand what was most important to me, and gave me trust in my inner timing. Kristinha was very adept with dreamwork, with an unerring instinct towards the images and symbols that matter. She held these images and symbols throughout our sessions in a way that meant we were able to keep returning to them, and my time with her became a coherent whole. She has a calming, grounded presence which was enormously appreciated, whilst being at the same time interested, attentive, able to hold space for tears as well as laughter. Playful yet serious—she was a joy to work with. I couldn't recommend her more highly.”

  • “Kristinha creates a welcoming environment for all parts of psyche to emerge: the rational mind, the inquisitive heart, and the sense of the transpersonal. She holds space for the comingling of the natural world, giving her coaching a solidity that is grounded in the earth and finds aliveness in the more than human. She generously facilitates deep expression through her gentle touch and insight. I always feel safe with Kristinha to explore what might lay hidden in my own psyche, holding up a lantern as I venture into and out of the shadow and the light.”

  • “Working with Kristinha was deeply transformative. In just five sessions, she helped me begin to truly understand and regulate my emotions, connect with my inner child, and show up for myself in ways I never had before. Her guidance around reparenting and connecting to my healed masculine energy brought clarity, calm, and a stronger sense of self. She held space with compassion, intuition, and presence—making me feel seen, safe, and supported every step of the way. I’m so grateful for the tools and insights I gained through our work, and I can confidently say her coaching has already made a lasting impact on my life.”

    A.S., Encinitas, CA

  • "Kristinha strikes a graceful balance between compassion and clarity. Her steady presence allowed me to feel both supported and gently guided throughout our sessions. She holds space with patience, never rushing, allowing insights to arise organically. There’s an ease in the way she relates—confident, kind, and intuitively responsive—that speaks to her natural people skills. As a coach, she cultivates a container that is both safe and catalyzing, where meaningful exploration can be experienced. "

    G.B., Portland, OR

  • "Kristinha is a wonderful coach who allows you to dive deep into the unconscious and dig through your layers. I’ve learned so much about myself and how to connect inward with her guidance and support. She allows you to be yourself, embraces the sometimes-strange symbols that arise, and shows you how to work with them in a way that connects to everyday life. "
